Review: Great screens, great sound, comfortable stylus. Need I say more? - I had a DSi and convinced myself that it would be a waste to get an XL, but it turns out I was wrong. The screens.. I never really gave much thought to how small the regular DSi screens are. The XL screens in comparison are massive. They are lovely and bright, and very clear. One thing I didn't like with the regular DSi was that the sound was pretty bad. The slot design of the speaker made everything sound a bit tinny. There's no issue here. The XL sounds great with no distorting or crackling. The interface is the same as with the DSi. You can scroll through the menu left and right to see what installed games/apps you have and you can connect with the Nintendo eShop via wifi. The nice thing with the DSi/DSi XL is that you can press the home button to quit back to the menu screen if you want to reset or change games, rather than having to turn the console off and on again like with the DS Lite. There are two cameras on the XL, but they're not up to much. They mostly serve as a bit of a diversion when you first get the console but with so many good DS games, I never used them past the first day to be honest. The other great thing about the XL is that although you get the regular skinny stylus, it also comes with a big pen shaped one too. I never gave much thought to how my hand used to get a bit cramped using the little stylus, but it's so comfortable using the pen one that I'll never go back now. The only downside is that it doesn't attach to the console, so you have to be careful not to lose it. The skinny stylus still slots into the unit itself though, so if the worst happens and you do lose the pen then you still have a backup. Lastly, I really like the fact the DSi and DSi XL have proper up and down buttons for the volume instead of the slider on the DS Lite. I would regularly be nudging the volume accidently on the DS Lite. No more accidental silent gaming here. The XL is solidly built and looks, and sounds, great. It's a bit heavier than the regular DSi but considering how nice the screen are it's a compromise worth making. The only downside is that probably won't fit in your pocket anymore.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does the dsi have a us region code will it work with us games**
A: Yes. But you have to be CERTAIN that you buy your DSi from an AMERICAN outlet. I made the mistake of going for the 'deal' and ended up with a Gameboy from the U.K. I did question Nintendo and was informed that the Gameboys are designed to accommodate the wattage output for each region. So I couldn't buy a US adapter as I would probably destroy the battery. So, I sent that one to a friend from the U.K. and ordered another. I now have a DSi XL that is US rated (120 Watts and not 240 Watts that is European). So get that Gameboy and enjoy yourself.

**Q: his will be placed dsi r4 for more games please download you need urgent response**
A: r4 dsi need to store more games

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ DS
*by P***S on 27 May 2026*

Great, the kids love it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good handheld console, but maybe not as portable as a DSi.
*by A***S on 30 December 2010*

My daughter was lucky enough to get one of these for Christmas, and is very pleased with it. This DSi XL replaced her older DS Lite, which she is also keeping for now! Firstly the good points... The screens are excellent, I worried games would look bad on a larger screen, but actually they look fine. Games such as Mario Karts are very playable on the larger screens and look excellent. The sound is good, and has a pretty good volume level without any distortion. All DS, DS Lite and DSi games are compatible, and all the ones we've tried look ok and work fine. The not so good points... There is no GBA slot, this is the same as the DSi so it's not really a problem but worth highlighting so people know. My daughter has one one accessory that uses the GBA slot, a keyboard for a piano game. That's the main reason she is keeping the DS Lite she already has. The device is obviously larger than an DSi, hence the XL in the name. This is not a bad thing but worth bearing in mind as it makes it slightly less portable. Not much but worth considering. I think this is a great handheld, but am not sure I'd recommend it over a DSi unless you really need the larger screens. That said, my daughter thinks it's great so the choice is yours! Get one and I think you'll like it, but consider a DSi first.
